Description:

It looks like a bug, so I'm reporting it
I'm not very familiar with history expansion, so It's perhaps something
I don't understand, in which case I apologize.

Repeat-By:

bash-4.0$ echo foo
foo
bash-4.0$ !echo
echo foo
foo
bash-4.0$ set +H;!((3))
bash: !: event not found
bash-4.0$ !echo
echo foo
foo
bash-4.0$ set +H
bash-4.0$ !echo
bash: !echo: command not found

Fix:
  None
